The
British F3 and British GT Championships' will race together at eight UK
venues, including MSV's Brands Hatch (Grand Prix), Oulton Park and Snetterton
circuits. Both Championships will visit Croft, a traditional firm favourite of
the teams and drivers, and the Northamptonshire circuit of Rockingham, with
British F3 returning after a four-year absence. Donington Park, Silverstone and
Thruxton make up the remaining UK venues.
The Lloyds TSB Insurance British F3 International Series continues with the
traditional 22-round, double header format, with three overseas events alongside
the FIA GT Championship. These will feature a spectacular street race in the
Romanian capital Bucharest on May 20th, a welcome return to the home of the
Italian GP Monza (Italy) on June 24th and a visit, once again, to the
Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, alongside the prestigious Spa 24 Hours on
July 29th.
The Avon Tyres British GT Championship will be contested over eight rounds.
Donington and Silverstone will host single 2-hour races, and the remaining
venues two, 60-minute races.
"We are pleased to announce our provisional calendar for 2007 which includes
all of the leading circuits in England," said SRO Chairman Stephane Ratel. "The
2007 season will begin next Easter at MSV's Oulton Park. After a very successful
meeting in 2006, there is no better place to start. We are particularly
delighted at partnering the British F3 international races with key FIA GT
Championship dates. Bucharest will be a stunning event; Monza and Spa we all
know about. The 2007 calendar represents a challenging set of venues for the
teams and drivers in Britain's premier single seater and sportscar
championships."
